The Son of the Morning

When the heroes meant to defend the world from darkness are unable to help, who will stand against the rising shadows?

Creatures lurk in the darkness, monsters out of legend, hungry for blood, ambushing any unfortunate or foolish enough to leave the light behind. They are called nightlings. They came once before, were defeated only at great cost by warriors given magical powers by the gods themselves.

Now, the nightlings have returned, but the Chosen who once defeated them are old and tired, shadows of what they once were.

And so, new champions must be Chosen. A castle servant many believe to be cursed, a musician and singer who wields her talent like a weapon, and a nobleman with a dark secret and the gods’ own luck.

These three chosen warriors will stand against creatures out of nightmare, against cruel men and gods who serve the Darkness. They are the world’s last hope, it’s last chance.

But will they be enough?

Venture into a world of warriors and magic where the gods are at war and choose mortals to fight for their cause. The Son of the Morning is a character-driven epic fantasy in the spirit of David Gemmell and Joe Abercrombie, written by Jacob Peppers, the author of the bestselling dark fantasy series, The Seven Virtues.
